... of life evolved by gradual emergence from the same most primitive, one-cell living beings. Chance variations occur in members of every species-no two individuals are entirely identical. These variations are inheritable. As already explained, the favourable variations-those that are helpful in the struggle for existence-may accumulate to such a degree that, according to Darwin, a new species originates, the members of which can have no fruitful progeny with the members of the parental species. Since the first scientific observations were made, no truly new animal species has been observed to come into being. The year after publication of The Origin of Species, Thomas Huxley wrote: "But there is no positive evidence, at present ...
282. Some Additional Comments On Tektites [Journals] [Kronos]
... to the surface of the Moon. It seems to me that this is an idea whose time has come. One criticism, directed less at Cardona than at most of the other scientists who have addressed themselves to the tektite puzzle over the past several decades, concerns a tendency to persist in either-or attitudes about tektite sources: Either the tektites originated on the Moon; or they originated on the Earth. In terms of the electrical fusion hypothesis, and in the light of Velikovsky's disclosures that both the Moon and the Earth were involved in discharges with intruding planetary bodies, there would appear to be no reason to insist that tektites now found on Earth could not have derived from both ...
283. Mythopedia [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... is divided in various sections: 1. Mythodology' contains most of the dry stuff'. It explains the theoretical background of our views on mythology and offers a new and complete methodology for an emerging science of myth; 2. Mythomatics traces the myths of the world via the rigid processes of comparative and structural mythology back towards a single origin; 3. Mythaeum is a provisional unselective encyclopaedia of myth, ritual, and religion, that will continue to grow over the coming years; 4. Myth-wise contains a variety of articles on comparative mythology and religion. (1 ) Mythodology': (the axioms of myth and a proposed methodology). Comparative mythology- the myth ...
284. Chapter VII: The Earth [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... . COAL We shall start with a discussion of coal, since it is familiar to most people and is of great recent interest especially due to a decrease of availability of black liquid gold (oil) and an increase in price of solid gold. Also, coal geology is a field where at least one specialist investigated various ideas about the origin of coal and concluded that Velikovsky's and a similar view by Nilsson were the most reasonable. Velikovsky described some properties of coal in his book Earth in Upheaval 5 a partial reply to those who said that no evidence for catastrophes existed other than in legends written by ill-informed ancients. In this work, Velikovsky presented evidence mostly written by the ...

286. A New Introduction to Earth in Upheaval [Journals] [SIS Review]
... warlike disturber in a peaceful nature, he found himself only imitating aggressive and explosive nature; whereas he relegated the vision of such convulsions into the realm of transcendent and esoteric beliefs - of Satan and Lucifer and the end of the world - he was awakening to find real indices of the awesome past of his mother Earth, ash of extraneous origin covering the ground under her water expanse, a ridge split by a deep canyon encompassing the oceans, bearing evidence of an enormous torque in the embrace of which the Earth shuddered, her poles repeatedly reversed, and also wandering; her little sister in this bi-planet system - the Moon - no more a lovable luminary to lighten our nights ...
287. The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins [Journals] [Aeon]
... in the modern-day world. The thundering god exemplified here by the Greek Zeus (From a Greek Vase.) The method to be followed here will be comparative and structural in nature. Thus, if peoples in distant corners of the world agree on ideas which are not directly understandable from observation of the current natural world, evidence of an original observation that was common to all, but different from what we now observe, is supplied by the geographical spread of the beliefs in question. Diffusion of traditions, especially between the Americas, Oceania, Africa, and other parts of the world, cannot here be assumed. Needless to say, the antiquity of the lore itself bespeaks ...
288. KA [Books]
... and the Greek tragic poets often use periphrasis when addressing people. Achilles might be addressed as "strength of Achilles." The words sthenos, is, menos, bia, each meaning force of some kind, are used, also kara and kephale, head. The Latin word vis, strength or quantity, suggests that a digamma was originally present in the Greek word is, and that it was vis. Hesiod, Theogony 332, even refers to Herakles as "is bias Herakleies", and Homer refers to Telemachus as "hiere is Telemachoio", the holy power of Telemachus. Iphi, from is, means with might'; iphi anassein means to rule with ...
289. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Eye of Heaven [Books]
... rakshasa Kabandha, slain by Rama, who had one enormous eye in the breast. A close parallel to this is to be found in the Rig Veda (iii, 59) where " Mitra sustains the Earth and the sky, Mitra with unwinking eye beholds all creatures." It is of course a leading point that Mitra was not originally the sun, and it is not to weaken my case to state that animisha, unwinking, became a general epithet of all gods.5 The Avestan Mithra, the yazata of light, has " 10,000 eyes,6high, with full knowledge (perethu-vaedhayana), strong, sleepless, and ever awake (jaghaurvaunghem). ...
290. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Books]
... the Earth's crust and, furthermore, the total amount of osmium (like iridium, a siderophile element) present seemed too great to have been deposited by vulcanism [7 ,15,17,38,39]. Also, the ratios of the various siderophile elements to each other in such samples could be taken as evidence of extraterrestrial origin [39]. Harold Urey, when putting forward an earlier version of the impact hypothesis (see chapter 3), had predicted that glassy microtektites would eventually be found at the K-T boundary [40]. The sanidine spherules found (by Jan Smit and Miriam Kastner) in Spanish K-T boundary samples [36] were not exactly ...
